Abstract

In the 19th century, when caste distinctions of high and low, and concepts of purity and untouchability, reached their extremes, a few sages appeared, including Vivekananda and Ramakrishna, as well as Sri Sarada Devi. Being an almost uneducated woman from a rural village, her expression of motherhood towards the so-called lower castes is known as one of the rarest of rare instances. Whether they are Dalits, lower castes, slaves, or anyone else, everyone was identified as a child of the mother in her life. Even as an ordinary woman, her extraordinary attitude made people from all walks of life think deeply. From that era to today, and even into the future, this universal motherhood of Srima Sarada Devi shows a unique path to society. A person's true essence transcends caste, class, and religion on this path. This path invites everyone to embrace it, teaching the human heart to broaden and fill with service and compassion.
